Topic: It's been forever since I have been on here...
But I am now 2 years and 8 months post surgery and I am still loving it! I have lost 177 pounds. I am maintaining now, and have been for almost a year. I have had a baby, who is now almost 9 months.

Topic: RE: Our 2 year - we rock!
Hi Liz, I was really fortunate to get the plastics done. Dr. Sauced was 1/3 the cost of getting it done in Californa, and only one recovery, not four.
Congrats on being at goal for over a year! It took me well into the second year to get there.

Way to go surgisister!!!! You look amazing!
Also, congratz on getting the plastics. I've priced it here in Canada, and it just isn't realistic for me to get anything done at this point. With a family to support, and trying to pay my way through nursing school PS is still a far off dream of mine LOL. It must be great to live without the loose skin though, that honestly is the most depressing part of my own personal "body" situation, I've been at goal for over a year and LOVE my new weight though

I haven't stopped by this forum in close to two years but decided to stop by and see how people are doing.
What a great two years. I've been a very slow loser but really hung in there with daily food tracking daily exercise and participating in support groups.
This surgery really changed my life!

Topic: One Year. No Regrets!
Hi everyone! So it has been a long time since I have visited my OH crew...you all have crossed my mind lately because I am coming up to my 1 year anniversary this month! I can't believe it has been a year...the time really has flown by. This site helped me TREMENDOUSLY preop and post op up until about 5 months post op. At that time I found myself almost addicted to OH - - I would log on everyday comparing my progress to everyone else's....which is never good. LOL I decided to live life and stop worrying about how everyone else was doing and have me time. I know what my personal goal is and that is all that matters. It has been one year and I have lost 182 lbs! 143 lbs since surgery but 182 total! I still have work to do but I just wanted to let the newbies and preops know that I have no regrets and that having my gastric bypass RNY saved my life and is the best decision I have ever made. Yes, there have been bad days but there have been many, many, more FABULOUS days. I am a work in progress on the inside and out. I am not perfect and I never will be....but I know what I want and who I am. I want to say thank you to everyone's post's and blogs that truly helped me get through the bad times. I have to admit I was nervous when my "one year" approached.....scared that this was the end of my weight loss. I now know and realize that I choose when it ends, no one else.
Take care!

Topic: RE: TIme is flying...
The scale is moving again (not fast enough, LOL) but it's moving. I am about 43/44 lbs from goal and I would like to get there by the end of April - that's seems reachable?!
The holidays were easy enough to manage. I ate like I did before, no surprises or testing my pouch. I've joined the Y and not only is it fun but I love that they have tons of fitness classes. I try to get a good workout in 4x a week, if not I walk 30 minutes on my treadmill.

Topic: RE: Wow time goes by fast...
I completely agree with you I feel so much more comfortable in my skin, I am still getting used to shopping, I have to stop myself from walking to the plus size section all the time or from grabbing the extra large. Thank Goodness my friends help me. I have about 14 pounds that I would like to lose my doctor doesn't want me to weigh any less than that. I never thought I would make my original goal weight and I am so glad that I have. Now I'm working on a new goal weight . Best of Luck to all my February friends!
